all i want is for hi rez to change anti crit to affect allies in range so allies take less crit damage.
that's all i want.
it only making enemies do less crit damage when they are in range is just free real estate for nu wa.
there are ways to counter it. but it shouldn't be free burning people items and relics before they even fight.
not to mention if they have a morigan on the team the first nu wa ult can take all your relics then the next wipes the team. or half health's everyone.
in ranked you can ban it. but in casuals you run into the random sh*tters who saw a youtube video and spams it for free wins.
i know this cause it passed through my recommended of someone doing nu wa crits again and now i have seen 3 people today running it ruining games.
Although. Fun sidenote. If you build sceptre of dominion against her, especially now it has a shorter windup, the entire team can stand in it and take zero damage from the ult 👀
And if you're playing an int-scaling backliner, sphere of negation is a very solid option against it - between the prots and the %hp shield you'll only actually lose about a 25% of your HP even against a build that is made to pretty much completely max out the ult damage (that build being gilded arrow upgrade, dagger of frenzy, rage, hydras, deathbringer, titans, wind demon)
Even with that build, you still need cooldown on Nu wa. Otherwise you are very sitting duck because the ult is the only non relic escape. And it's not a great one either because some will take that ult and eat you when you come down. Especially some monster fed OP warrior like Bellona or something. unless they where being greedy and diving at like 10 percent health or something.
Also, lifesteal is nice on her ults. It can buy you that bit of health to hopefully get off a stun or juke before the whole enemy team focuses you because you are squishy and weak.
yeah but that's my whole point of mandatory burning relics and items with zero skill. or involvement of the player. just press button.
and the sphere of negation is a good idea untill team fights happen. yeah at full hp its a 300 shield buffer but if they pull a double ult using morgan after a fight. or you just got recently poked 60 prots wont really do much when you factor in 35% pen.
your still getting half healthed. and more if morigan ults as well.
A better approach would be to just fix that god-awful design of an aspect lol.
They made a really good change to base nu wa when they made her ult proc item effects for half and later buffed the rest of her kit to make her less of an ult bot and have more impact with the base kit, because taking 1k+ of unmissable damage on a backline was just unfun and uninteractive.
Then with the crit burst build... the ult does 1k+ of unmissable damage on a backline and is just unfun and uninteractive. It's literally made to have the exact same problem that they recognised and did a good job of addressing in her non-aspect kit. Also, the aspect pretty much plays like the base kit in that you're looking to burst-nuke a single target, except that burst comes from hydra's crits set up by the stun instead of from ability burst with the stun.
Step 1 - remove the ability for the ult to crit
And then, if she needs buffing after that...
Step 2 - make the fog proc basic attack effects (tyrfing, bragis, etc) on every tick that someone stands in it for
Step 3 - make either the fog or the 3 give attack speed on cast
That way she's actually encouraged to build like a shred ADC, which is what the aspect should have achieved to begin with, rather than the aspect changing her from a burst-combo ult bot into... a burst-combo ult bot.
She is still somewhat balanced because she has no escapes like a lot of other characters like her.
A Nu wa without her ult or beads up is a dead Nu wa and every adc, solo, and jungle worth their salt focus her and are on her like a June bug to a porch light in the summer blowing all cooldowns and relics to nab her because they know this.
Yes, you can go Magis or even stampede for a little relief but it comes at the cost of damage.
And unlike other gods with no escape like Anubis, her ult hits hard but it is not one shotting even full defense full health tanks.
it doesn't need to 1 shot when you half health the entire enemy team or force relic and active use.
you go from say hun batz aspect who already 2 auto 3 autos and your dead even with his lower ability damage from full hp.
to just 2 auto and your dead it super matters.
it doesnt matter if people with salt focus her all game. you dont need skill to press 1 button you just need to get enough farm to be relevant.
The reason her aspect ult needs to be nerfed is partly balance and partly frustration based
Yes, shes an easy dive, yes her ult cant 1 shot anyone, but the crit build still hits 1k dmg in the lategame and taking 1k every one and a half minutes for the crime of playing the video game is annoying as shit. They recognized that with her base kit and thats why she now deals halved item dmg with it
Taking power out of her ult and putting it into her base kit leads to a way less annoying character that can still be in the same balancing ballpark as shes now. So why not do it
Im with you on this. Maybe like 500 damage ult late game and make her aspect and base kits be a little more menacing throughout the entirety of a game. But I think nu wa is a dogshit character and every game i face her I win by about 20 minutes (except conq which adds 7 mins max) and they really need to rework her tbh. She's just poorly designed atm.
lol streamer copies are too real. The crit yemoja that came after el Leon a couple weeks ago is the best fail I have seen yet
